This Heat Pairs Brenda Goodman, Steve DiBenedetto, and Bendix Harms at New York Studio School

Curated by Jacob Brooks, the exhibition This Heat features artists Brenda Goodman, Steve DiBenedetto, and Bendix Harms at the New York Studio School, which has recently expanded its gallery space. The showcase includes 17 artworks: 14 are split equally between Goodman and DiBenedetto, while Harms, the sole non-New York participant, presents three pieces. Goodman's seven works, created from 2020 to 2026, vary in size and include a small paper piece, with titles like Covid 3 (2021) and Not That Again (2024), reflecting themes of pain and sadness. DiBenedetto's seven paintings feature Isotope Plus (2026), the largest, and titles such as Lettuce Leaf Control Panel (2026). Harms, a 59-year-old German artist residing on a remote Danish farm, offers three palette knife paintings, including My Sun (2018). The exhibition is on view at 8 West 8th Street in Greenwich Village until October 18.
